The Sword of Welleran was the third book from Lord Dunsany and, like his earlier works, was a collection of short stories.

Those appearing the 1st Edition included: "The Sword of Welleran"; "The Fall of Babbulkund"; "The Kith of the Elf-Folk";

"The Highwaymen"; "In the Twilight"; "The Ghosts"; "The Whirlpool"; "The Hurricane"; "The Fortress Unvanquishable,

Save for Sacnoth"; The Lord of Cities"; "The Doom of La Traviata"; and "One the Dry Land".

 

Sime's illustrations for The Sword of Welleran show a maturing fantasy style that had developed through previous

collaborations with Dunsany.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.

 

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-on plate and the images are presented on

White card stock with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own

personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options

below. Of course, should you wish to discuss some customised options, we welcome your contact on any matter

through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
